what it's about

a baby arrives.
the world immediately
has opinions.

All You Can Do is a fantasy children's book about what it feels like to watch a new person enter the world — and feel the weight of everything that world is going to try to tell them about who they should be.

it's for the D&D parent who wants their kid to grow up knowing the rules exist to be reimagined. it's for the adult who needed this book at five and still needs it at thirty-five. it's for anyone who has ever been told what they can't do before anyone asked what they want to try.

the world has no idea what you're capable of. go find out.

"I wrote this the year Dean was born. I wanted him to have something that said: the world will try to put you in a box. all you can do is be exactly who you are."

— Justin Jarel

why preorder matters

your preorder literally
funds the illustrations.

written, storyboarded, edited — done. the illustrations are in progress. this isn't something being held back for marketing reasons. it's a book being built, and founding readers are part of making it happen.

every preorder goes toward the illustration budget. more preorders = faster art = sooner the book ships. that's it. that's the deal.

who it's for

everyone who was ever told
what they couldn't do
before anyone asked.

it's a baby shower gift. it's for the D&D parent who wants their kid to know the rules can be reimagined. it's for the adult who still needs to hear it. it's for anyone who believes the best thing you can tell a child is: the world has no idea what you're capable of. go find out.

faq

quick answers.

when does it ship?
written, storyboarded, and edited. illustrations are in progress and your preorder funds their completion. preorder buyers get regular updates and hear the ship date first.
what devices does digital work on?
full-color PDF + ePub. formatted specifically for iPad and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. not designed for grayscale e-readers.
what age is this actually for?
all ages, genuinely. kids will grow into it. adults will recognize themselves in it. new parents will read it and feel something. the D&D vibes are for everyone who's ever rolled for perception and seen the world differently.
what's the D&D connection?
the world, the characters, and the visual language are D&D-inspired fantasy. you don't need to know what a d20 is to love this book. but if you do, you'll love it differently.
refunds?
preorders are final since they fund production. if something goes wrong, DM @jjarel and it gets handled personally.

all you can do
is begin.

for the ones just starting out. and the people who love them most.
